'twas the night before the Pumpkin Festival (in Half Moon Bay)

Night scene of a giant pumpkin display area with a large sign reading "SPECIAL DISPLAY OF GIANT PUMPKINS". Several enormous pumpkins are visible, along with folding chairs, decorative fences, and a "SAFEWAY WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP PUMPKIN WEIGH-OFF" sign. A full moon illuminates the scene.

And this morning there are witches!

A coven of witches on paddle boards in the harbor, glorious pelicans fly in the distance

@simon At first glance, I thought that was a centaur witch. πŸ˜‚

Some of the giant pumpkins get carved by Farmer Mike

Farmer Mike sits on a stage with 6 enormous pumpkins with intricate carving - he is carving one live

@simon These seem to be a much smaller scale of β€˜giant’ than the monsters you showed us before

@robinhouston yeah the biggest ones are still being exhibited uncarved

@simon Thanks for sharing all this pumpkin content. The most exciting pumpkin-themed event I've come across here is considerably less exciting.
